July 15, 2010 - Chicks move outside

At 6 weeks old, the chicks left the brooder for the temporary outdoor pen in the barn. The last 2 sets of chicks have moved outside at 6 weeks and were big enough so they couldn't fit through the fence. Not so with these little girls.

Four of them can squeeze through the chain links of the dog run panels we use. So I added more wire and made their space smaller till they grow a bit more. They are still enjoying some dirt to dust in and hopefully they will learn to sleep on the roosts over the new dropping pit.

See portraits of the whole gang on the page where I'm documenting their feather colors.
